The original stsry OF the Discovery Of
Goid In California.

A lump of gold WAS, in February,
1913, picked up in an excavation made
for mill race at Caloma, Cal Three
months later, Mexico having ceded
California to the United States, a
number If persons were already EN-
gagged in searching for the precious
metal, the first ndventurers coming
principally from the adjacent country,
from Mexico and from the Sandwich
Islands. Those were the days Of slow
transit by sea and shore, and II took
long time for news of the discovery to
reach the Atlantic coast The Sun
published an authentic account OF the
great 'fnd," which put the country
in commotien. Baltimore, at that
time the point Of departure and ar
rival for vessels engaged in trade with
points on the Pacific coast and the
Gulf of Mexico. and great starting
point also for overland expeditions to
the West, was TO the most OF the
country the center OF news from the
far West, and, accordingly, when the
sun gave the details Of the discovery
OF a yertable Ell Dorado in our
newly acquired territory, on Septem-
Der 10, 1s48, it was extensively copied
throughout the world, and contrib.
uted largely to the famous rush in the
Spring of 1S49. The article referred
to was as follows:
'An immense bed nf gold, 100 miles
in extent, has been discovered in Cal
ifornia on the American fork and
Feather river. tributaries of the Sac
remento, near Monterey. Mr. Col
ton, the alcade of Monterey, states
that the gold is found in the sand in
grains resembling squirrel shot fat
tened out. Some grains weigh an
ounce each. 1t is got by Washing out
the sand in any vessel, from tea
saucer to warming pan. A single
person can gather an ounce or two a
day, and some even 500 worth. Two
thousand whites and as many Indians
are on the ground. All the American
settlements are deserted and farming
nearly suspended The women only
remain in the settlements. Sailors
and captains desert the ships to go to
the gold region, and laborers refuse
$40 day to work on the farms. MIR.
Colion says. One man, who resides
next doer to me, gathered $500 worth
in six days. He has one lump which
weighs over All ounce. A trough such
as you feed pigs in will bring in Che

will bring 800. My friend j. II.
paid S16 for little basket to wash out
the gold in More than 800, 900
worth has been collected. Governor
Mason and his aid have gone to the
district, which is five days journey
from Monterey. The natives have
gone for gold, the sailors have run from
the ships and the soldiers from their
camps for the same purpose. The
last vessel that left the coast was
obliged to ship an entire new crew and
pay each $50 a month. No one can
be hired to dig gold short of SIG to
